Part 1B:
This is a good example of the experience of the Americans during the Great Depression because this is a poor girl. You can tell this because of the quality of the fence and the clothing that she is wearing. The fence is made up of different size planks made of different colors and types of wood. The fence to the right of her is all dead. The little girl isn't wearing shoes. Her family can't afford them. If you look to the right of the girl you can see that the girl's family's crops are all dead. If you look to the top left, the house is poorly made.
Part 2A:

In this picture, is multiple stores on main street in the town's main street. What I noticed first about this picture is that the car and all the store fronts have a layer of dust on them. There aren't any people walking around on the streets. Some other details I can see is that the car looks old for its time. It also looks like the people live above the store. I believe this image was made to show how a small town main street looks like. Most people who would look at this picture would be living in a big city. They would be more used to seeing sky scrapers. If someone made this today, the lights would be electric and the car would be different, I wonder about who live in this town. I also wonder why people would take a picture of this town. Also, how does the camera that they used to take the picture worked.

I see a what looks like a young, white farmer girl. The first thing that I noticed about this picture was that the girl isn't wearing any shoes. Even the horse has hoofs, but the girl doesn't. A farmer girl, a plow, and a horse is shown in the above image. I think this image was made to show that the struggle of the farmers in the 1930s. I think the audience for this photo is the people in urban areas. This is a good example of the manual labor. If someone remade this photo, there wouldn't be a horse. The tools would be mechanical. I wonder who this girl is. I wonder what they are planting. I wonder why she isn't wearing shoes.

I see what looks like a poor farmer family. The first thing that I noticed about this photo is that they are all farmers, but I don't see any horse, which would have meant the farmers plowed it by hand. A poor farmer family outside their farm house and near their farm are shown in the above image. I think this image was made to show that even if you were poor, this family is much poorer. The audience for this photo would be suburban and urban people to show that some people have to work really hard. If someone remade the photo, I think it would be the same. I wonder who this family is. I wonder what this family is doing and why they don't move to the city. I wonder why all of them don't they have shoes.
Part 2B:
Fish restaurant for colored in the quarter cotton hoers are recruited. Memphis, Tennessee
This is a picture of a seafood restaurant for colored people. What I noticed first about this photo is that the sign on the restaurant says, "FOR COLORED." I also noticed that the roads are cobbled or paved in this part of town. Some other details I can see are the soda bottles and a colored person in the window. I think this image was made to show the segregation of the people in restaurants and other places. I think the audience for this image is the people of the far north. They don't have as much segregation and they would need to see how bad it is in some places. I learned that there were entire restaurants that were segregated. I wonder who that man in the image is. Is it the owner or a patron. I wonder why someone would spend the time to make this image. I also wonder where this image was taken.
Signs behind the bar, in Birney, Montana
This is a picture in a bar of a sign against Native Americans. The first thing that I noticed is the God Bless America sign and how that the Native Americans were the first here, and without their help, the settlers would have never survived the first winter and it would have taken many more years for America to be founded. Some other details I see is the word positively. I don't know why they would add that. The sign already says, "No Beer Sold To Indians." That is like adding insult to injury. I think this image was made to show that African Americans aren't the only ones who were discriminated against. I think that the audience for this image was people in the north, where Native Americans were accepted more than down there. In the north, they stayed in the reservation. I learned that the certain people were allowed in places, but not given things. I wonder who's law this is. I wonder why they would put up this sign. I wonder where this is.
Negro going in colored entrance of movie house on Saturday afternoon, Belzoni, Mississippi Delta, Mississippi
This is a picture of a colored entrance to a theater. I noticed that the colored people had to sit in the highest balcony and pay the same amount of money as the people who got the better seats. I also noticed that the colored entrance is in the back of the theater. I can see a movie poster and an African American man walking up the steps to a movie. This image was made to show the racism and segregation in public places like the theater. The audience is the people who don't have segregation in their town. I can learn that the theaters had a colored entrance. i wonder who that man is. I wonder why is going to the movies. I wonder what movie he is going to see.
Part 3A:
This people were hard. They worked hard and their risk of dying was very high. Some could fall of a building, inhale too much dust, or caught in a mill. One man, Chris Thorsten, an iron worker, was quoted as saying, "You ain't an iron worker unless you get killed...Men hurt on all jobs." This is what the Depression was about, people starving and dying on all jobs to keep their family okay. Another man, Garavelli, said, "It was tough for everybody in the early days. Lots of stone cutters die from the silica." People die from just going to work every day. Another thing was that woman were not treated the same. An example from one woman, Alice Caudle, said, "If I'd a-been a man no telling how far I'd-a gone." There was also sexual harassment in the work place. This is spoken of by, Anna Novak, she said, "You could get along swell if you let the boss slap you on the behind." One man also speaks of how poor people were and how hard the times were. The man, called Clyde Smith, said that, "It was hard times then, the Depression..." This also speaks of the place where these interviews were, which was New York City. New York was harder to live in than other places.
Part 3B: The person being interviewed is Ruby Pickens Tartt. Ruby Pickens Tartt's occupation was not stated, although it was implied that she did odd jobs. It was implied that Ruby Pickens Tartt was a Negro woman. The interview is taking place in Livingston, Alabama. The date of this interview was September 28th, 1939. The interviewer was not stated. The next interview was of Mary Reese. Mrs. Reese's occupation was not stated. Mrs. Reese's race was not staed, but I belive she was a woman. The interview is taking place in Burksville, Alabama. The date of the interview is December 17th, 1938. The interviewer was Mrs. C.W. Higgins.
